GETTING STARTED
WC02 Controller
Press the switch on the back of the
controller to the ‘on’ position.
Connect the controller to the blanket with the yellow cable. The red
dots on the cable tip should face
up. When releasing the cable, pull
back on metal tip as shown (do
not twist to disconnect).
Select the desired temperature
setting by pressing the single button on the face of the controller.
Remember:
• Make sure the sensor is touching the patient (shown).
• Use a thin barrier between patient and blanket (i.e. pt gown).
• Place black side of the blanket
toward patient. Don’t fold black
sides together while in use.
Quick Troubleshooting guide:

Alarm Mode
Description
Primary over-temp
When the temperature exceeds one degree above nominal, audible and visual alarms
are initiated and power is removed from the output. The alarm will reset when:
• Temperature is within acceptable limits (± 1°C)
• Cable connecting Warming Blanket to Controller is disconnected, or
• Power is removed at mains
To resume warming, check sensor location and reselect temperature. If alarm continues, contact manufacturer.
Secondary over-temp
When the temperature exceeds 46°C, audible and visual alarms are initiated. The
alarm will reset when:
• Cable connecting Warming Blanket to Controller is disconnected, or
• Power is removed at mains
To resume warming, check sensor location and reselect temperature. If alarm continues, contact manufacturer.
Failure to reach temp
When the system does not achieve selected temperature within 10 minutes, audible
and visual alarms are initiated. The alarm will reset when:
• Cable connecting Warming Blanket to Controller is disconnected, or
• Power is removed at mains
To resume warming, check sensor location and reselect temperature. If alarm continues within 10 minutes, lay the blanket out flat, face-down, on an insulated surface
such as the OR mattress. Reselect temperature. If “temperature in range” light
doesn’t activate within 10 minutes, the blanket is at the end of its service life.
Fold Detect
If the Warming Blanket is folded on itself (such as black on black) such that a local
over-temperature condition occurs, audible and visual alarms are initiated. The
alarm will reset when:
• Temperature in folded area has cooled, and
• Cable connecting Warming Blanket to Controller is disconnected, or
• Power is removed at mains
To resume warming, fix the fold condition and reselect temperature. If alarm continues, contact manufacturer.
6-hour time-out
timer
If a warming device is left operating for 6 hours with no changes to set point, power
will be removed, three short audible chirps will sound, and the alarm indicators will
flash continuously. Pressing the temperature select button will clear the alarm and
re-start normal operation.
Immediate Alarm
If controller alarms on initial start-up, prior to selecting a temperature, an electrical
failure may be detected. Swap out cables and blankets to isolate the problem and
contact the manufacturer.
